I love watching your podcast and never find it too long. For us knitters with mobility challenges and unable to attend a regular knit night, your podcast allows us to feel we are part of the knitting community. Thank you Jodi and Tracy!
Thank you for talking about embracing the size you are now. At age 63 I finally told my dad and my youngest sister to quit body shaming me. I am extremely healthy - the only # that is high when I go for a physical is the number on the scale and it isn’t all that high. So, if that is all they value about me, then they can stuff it. I am so tired of stressing about my weight. I walk, hike, sail, play with grandsons, garden, knit, quilt and I, too, love Dove Dark chocolate!
Love you guys so much, but round-up? Poison, poison, poison, poison to you, poison to the bees, poison to the earth. Thank you for your podcast, still love you.
I LOVE your podcast. The longer the better. Never get sick of you. Love seeing all the beautiful yarn and stuff. I get ideas of new to me yarn dyers and other accessories. Enjoy the rest of your summer.
Hi ladies! We met at the brunch; I’m the one who met Traci at Eyf and lives an hour north of Cedar. I haven’t read through the 415 comments, but I’m sure someone has mentioned that we are Michiganders. I’ve had other places where I can’t figure that out either! Also, our current high water situation is a normal 20-25 year cycle. The last high water was 1997. It results from cold winters where the Great Lakes freeze for a long period and lots of system snow. When the Lakes don’t freeze early enough or not enough coverage, water levels drop due to evaporation and lake effect snow. Of course wet summers effect lakes too. After this year, levels should slowly drop, and in about 10-12 years, we will be down about 18-24”! That is a ginormous amount of water! Thanks for coming to Michigan, I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay. Thanks for another great podcast too!
I have knit for a long time,but didn't discover your podcast till l broke my leg. Off work with lots of time I been binge watching your videos. Thanks for all your wonderful work and time you have dedicated. I have been inspired and happy with the works you have created and reviewed. Knitting,crochet, tatting from Florida thank you ,Julia
Sometimes I watched in swatches of time. Today I knitted on a baby hat while watching. I realized I had a smile on my face the whole time. That is how enjoyable you are. Never too long. Love you guys.
Don’t worry about the podcast being too long! I love it because I listen to half one night and the other half another night. You girls always bring a smile to my face and make me laugh😊 Thanks for taking the time to spend with us all.
You two ladies are the epitome of makers supporting makers! I don’t usually have 2+ hrs to watch podcasts, but somehow managed to watch yours in 1-day, laundry, cleaning & knitting included! 💕💕🤗 “OLD ROMAINE?” I thought “that’s an odd name!” 😂😂🤣
You two are awesome! Don't listen to negative people. Nobody is making anybody sit down and watch anything in its entirety. They can either watch it little at a time or not watching it all but I have enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you very much.
Tracie said "I'm sure you guys are sick of us"...because of your epic podcast. I never get sick of you!!! I feel so happy knitting and watching your podcasts - the longer the better.
I love that you ladies can surprise each other with such wonderful things. And to have beautiful friends that can help with the surprises! Thank you so much for sharing.
I could sit, knit and watch your podcast all day. You are both such a hoot and you keep it real. Thank you for the inspiration and keeping me in the loop. Love, love, love you!
Love the podcast. It could be 8 hours long and still not enough for me! Jodi, thank you so much for talking about how tags start showing up. I thought it was just me! Getting older sucks, but knitting (and crocheting) keeps me sane! Love to you both. ❤
HI, love you guys and your podcasts can never be too long. I love hanging out with you, with my knitting and chocolate. Enjoy the rest of your summer xx
I totally enjoy the length of your show.... I see it in sections, so I end up seeing you everyday. That way it’s not so lonely between episodes. Because I’m always stopping the podcast, and looking up things from the show notes, I make your podcast easily 4 hours long...I learn so much that way! Thanks, And don’t change....stay you!
thank you Girls for who you are . This pod cast came out the day before my birthday . I found your pod cast a few months ago , I been watching all of them . From all of your pod cast i have gotten a lot of knitting done , I have misted having someone to knit with .Now i have a long list of other pod cast i can watch when i am knitting , thank you once again .
Found you ladies after a mention on Crochet Luna. I’m a crocheted not a knitter, but I just sat here and watched all 2 1/2 hours of this podcast and loved every minute. I didn’t understand the knitting parts, but yarn is yarn and we crocheters love the good stuff too. And I loved your fun personalities! I will definitely go and binge on your past episodes.
Not too long at all! You gals are my knitting buddies. I used to be a part of a great knitting group when I lived 'in the city' but now I live in the woods of western Maine. So - you two are my knitting group! Thank you for your podcast and everything you share with us knitters.
Tracie, what I do to have a "closer" collar is pick up the stitches in same needle size, work the rib (or whatever pattern calls for) for 2 rows, then go down a needle size, rib another couple of rows, then go down another needle size, and b/o when necessary. This avoids have to do decreases, which affects the look of the ribbing. I talk about this on my channel, because I do this technique all the time. For top-down sweaters, I go down 2 or 3 needles sizes, begin there, cast on and work a couple of rows, go up a needle size and work a couple of rows, then work in desired needle size and work as instructed.
My husband knits and it is amazing. We share our love to yarn, patterns and knitting! This also makes him VERY knitworthy because he knows how much work it takes to knit a pullover for example.
I have been eagerly waiting for you to return! It was great to watch your porch podcast from MI; but this is the real thing 😍. What fabulous surprises you each planned for one another’s birthdays 🎉. And managing to keep your secrets, especially after I just watched Joji explaining texting simultaneously with you and not being the one to ruin the fun! You did have much to talk about and show and again have me anxious to check the show notes and pretend I can do all the new projects ..... my eyes are bigger than my budget, my knitting speed, and my ability to focus on only one project at a time .....oooo shiney, ooooo new pattern oooooo beautiful yarn 🧶 oooo socks ooo sweater oooooo shawl .... oooo bags oooo pins oooo overload 🤯. Not too long 🤩. So delightful and happy to watch, especially after the horrible week in the United States, the shootings, the ICE arrests, the children again separated from their families, and the horrible governance by the current president and Senate (or is it lack of governance? 😢.). I enjoyed every minute of this podcast 💛💛💛
I absolutely love, love that you do long podcasts. You have great content and you're very entertaining. One of these days I'll be able to purchase some of the spectacular yarn you show but for now I'm learning and admiring.
No way is it too long! love it-Tracy I am busy knitting the Navelli Tee and am just loving it! For so long I just admired cropped sweaters on the skinny designers thinking that style would look so crap on me because I'm not as slim as I used to be, but seeing so many big women flaunting the style, I have caved and my next one is going to be the Soldotna crop.I love Caitlin Hunter's patterns so much.
Hilarious in the word game with spalted. I thought you might need new eye prescriptions.... did I nail it or what! 😂 I did take it in chunks by the way. You were with me while I switched over my closet from summer to fall, knit socks on the plane, made dinner and weeded the garden. More of you is always a good thing! Never stop. Big hugs from Hamilton, Ontario. 🏭🤗🧶
Love your long format! I got to watch it over a couple of nights -- looking forward to "part 2" the entire day. Thank you for your passion, creativity and love of community.
Good morning from Calgary 💕 I have been binge watching your videos and tutorials and love them, you two are Terrific 💕 I have been crocheting for 3 years and I am self taught, I enjoy all your Yarny Goodness, Enjoy your day!
Welcome back! And belated Happy Birthday to each of you! Your sweaters are ridiculously amazing! And all those mini-skeins...I can’t even. I need more yarn spending money...🧶🧶🧶
Love you guys! Watch every minute in one go.... yesterday I started a new project just because I have been itching to use the yarn. It makes me happy eventhough I do not need another wip. I loved they way it worked so much that today after listening to you guys I am half way done. I feel zero guilt because I got so much done. Hugs Mare
Hello lovely ladies! I agree with other followers - your podcasts are never too long. Looks like you are having a great summer (despite the strange weather we are having). Fantastic birthday surprises !! Your sweater is gorgeous Jodi (I can't wait til it comes out)! And Tracie I cried too when Joji surprised you at the airport.
So funny she talked about that and I was going through my favorites on Ravelry and I had the magnolia already in there! Beautiful pattern, can't wait to knit it!
Loved every minute of it, got a lot of knitting done. It was like we were all together for a knit along. I loved your idea of a knitting session at your Mum's just knitting and talking. Your flower boxes are so gorgeous, it was a beautiful backdrop. Thanks again for all you do for the knitting community. Your enthusiasm, love for each other and life (skin tags and all...ha ha)are a joy.
Ladies, I love your podcasts and I love that they are longer. I take a few days to listen to the whole thing and then watch my favorite parts again! I went to stitches Midwest after hearing you talk about stitches west and it was lovely (my first knitting event!) What you show and talk about is so valuable to me as a new knitter. I just enjoy your work so much. jean
tears of joy...what a lovely way to start a new decade. I myself will be entering my 6th in September, and look forward to all the experiences that await. Enjoy, enjoy you are blessed with a thoughtful sister, a loving knitting community and wow...awesome friends!!!!!
It totally makes my day whenever you ladies post a new video! I’ve just about finished knitting my FIRST sock 🧦 ever. Cannot wait to give your shorties sock pattern a try once my first pair is complete. Thanks for the laughs and video goodness!
You girls are so interesting and entertaining! Love the yarn and IDEAS! Stories are special. Birthdays are important times to say you are special. Thanks
This Michigander was so sad that I couldn’t be at Wool and Honey for your visit. I’m heading there in a few weeks and am excited to see the shop. Thanks for a wonderful podcast with lots of beautiful yarn, patterns, and bags! Joji’s sweater pattern will be on my radar. I loved that you showed the Plystre backpack. That has been on my list of treats for myself and I’ll definitely treat myself soon.
Love your podcast, makes me feel happy ! I do not mind that it is "long" because I can just take some time to knit ;) If I do not have enough time to watch it entirely, I just split it in two or three parts while eating or whatever. Have a very nice day !
Tracie you can be as long as you want to be .... Because..... Guess What I am going to watch all of it!!! I love it when you run up to 3 hours.... I sit and knit and watch you guys.....
I laughed outloud for a full minute when you said, "old romaine". Now, every time I think of it, I giggle. I would not have been able to compose myself to continue if that were me. I absolutely love you girls. You're so real. I hate it when I've finished watching your podcast because then I have to wait until you post again.
So enjoyed your video! Love your Galiano socks and am on my second pair! Love all the sweaters, dreamy yarns, patterns, it just goes on and on! Love it all, you guys are fantastic!,, 💕
Please DO do the next show in your mom's (pots) garden. As a gardener I would love to see it. For your Q & A - what do you know now that you wish you knew when you first started knitting?
Without fail, every time I watch you I open Google Maps and do a little road trip across Canada and this time Michigan. Last night I was searching Alaska and cannot tell you why, but it looks way too cold for my liking. One day I might make it outside Australia. You two are so much fun to watch xx
People are offended by how long it is! 😂😂 That's ridiculous! I love how long it is, I can sit down with a cuppa and a good knit, I don't always watch it all in one sitting and I love that because I really look forward to watching the rest 😁 so much inspiration on this episode I just need to find more time!
LOL Jodi - "hard pass". Good time with you both. I listened and watched to the end, and it was well worth it. If an episode is long, all that matters is the content. Worth it.
"Snug worsted - you just want a onesie in it!" You girls are so my people! Was delightful to meet you both in Cedar - thanks for sharing your passion for knitting and yarns with us all! ❤️👯
Love your podcast, it is like catching up with your besties the time flies and you wish it would never end, Love you girls I hope you have an amazing time with your Families !
Your podcast is not too long! It was just right for my lunch time knitting during the week. :) I love how you both make me laugh. In fact, I laughed so hard over the "Old Romaine" comment that everyone in the lunch room turned and looked at me. You should have a colorway of Grocery Girl yarn with names such as "Old Romaine," "Party in my Mailbox," "Jodi," "Tracie," "The V Word," and "Skin Tag"
Ladies! Welcome back! I have no problem with long episodes, I could knit with you all day long! You inspire, enable, and spread love. Who can't deal with that? 💜 Old Romaine! I literally peed my pants! No, seriously, I knit with it all the time! 😂😂😂 Tracie, I'm on the verge of bifocals, but I can see close-up, but not with my glasses. So, I avoid bifocals by using a pair of glasses that are very shallow. I can see perfectly clearly when I look under the bottom of the frame. Good luck! Happy knitting! 😘😘😘😘😘
Just so happens that I’m recouping from knee surgery so your podcast was the perfect medicine! Loved it, especially the Joji birthday surprises! You make me smile every podcast...thank you! 😘
Love you comments about having a supportive partner. Everyone should hold out on lifetime commitment until they find the one who says, “Buy the yarn.” This is my husband’s phrase every. single. time. I’m contemplating a skein. Because of this, I absolutely bought The Yarn Jar in Cactus Flower.
I love the sweater Jodi, good job Tracie! And I am glad that sweater sizing is expanding so those of us with curves can wear them. We are not all Twiggy. I knit a lot of sweaters when I was smaller, and it's getting so exciting that I'll be able to do more pretty sweaters.
Yea! You're back! The jumpers you are wearing suit you both, and you are looking so well and relaxed. Jodi you should wear that red, I think it will suit you. Continue to enjoy the summer. Thanks girls. x
🤣Gotta get me some “Old Romaine “! 🤣. Watched all in one go, and really enjoyed your party in the mailbox!!! Seeing ALL that yarn never gets old (unless it’s lettuce😉). See ya next time!🤗🧶
I love the surprise Tracy had for her birthday. Great planning on Jodi's part! The excitement to watch the surprise unfold must have been worth everything! :)
My husband is actually the one who encouraged me to get back into knitting, and he's very supportive :) If I'm having trouble working out a pattern, he'll sit down with me and help me figure it out! I'm starting to get into pattern design, and he's even helping me with that too! I'm really truly lucky to have him ❤️
Met you two in Michigan!!! It was a great weekend there. Listening to your video about the weekend in Cedar MI brought back many happy memories :-). Knitting on the beach was wonderful. Weather was absolutely perfect that weekend too!
Tracie, you should make a knitting swatch journal and glue the swatch to the page with a little blurb about what you used and the needle size etc. Then you would always have it to refer to. Just a thought. Love you and Jodi so,so much!
I love you! it just makes my week - this makes me so happy! Your sweaters are so beautiful! That hat totally reminded me of the Andes mountains! So cool! You are the best!!! Thank you for being you!!!
Hi ladies! I love the long episodes! I always watch you in "chunks " of about 30 minutes while I'm walking on the treadmill or using the exercise bike! Makes that chore go so much faster, lol! Have to be careful though, I almost fell off the bike during that "old romaine" sequence🤣🤣🤣. Enjoy your holidays Tracie and have fun spending time with your girls Jodi.
Love spending time with you through your podcasts. Went to Stephen and Penelope today during our short stay in Amsterdam. Got his yarn and also my first LabienAime (sp) DK. Love Schitt's Creek and certainly the character of David. Have seen many movies with dad and the ensemble cast. We live in Maryland in the US.
Of course, the way things go, this was the first one I found of you guys. Watched it straight through and, I have to say, it was a great time, loved watching you both ! It does make me wish I had a sister.
Yesss do a hat knit along👍👍 god it’s good to have you back missed you😘😘 you’ve given me my knit inspiration back👍 Come to Yorkshire England for a weekend knit ,!!!! Xxxxxx🥰😘😘
Thank you for another fun podcast! I love how you showcase and support new yarn dyers and designers. I worked on my Dark Cloud by Joji as I watched this episode. Jodi, your hair looked awesome! Tracie, I will never forget how happy you were when Joji and Charly greeted you at the airport - one of the sweetest moments ever 🥰😍
I love Jodie's sweater!!! I cant wait until the pattern drops!! Everything you ladies have knit is gorgeous and it makes me just want to knit along everything with u!!!
J O J I - Hurry, I need that sweater!!! LOVELY...and I'm going to do it in Navy too. I love you guys, you are adorbs! STILL after all these years... ok. 2 years?
Loved your hearts popping through in the 2.5 hour podcast. Who would desire less of you. ..we love you. Be real, knit on and keep talking. Your sweaters are fabulous! Can you talk about knitting needles you love and how you organize your needles. Xoxox
I love watching your podcast and never find it too long. For us knitters with mobility challenges and unable to attend a regular knit night, your podcast allows us to feel we are part of the knitting community. Thank you Jodi and Tracy!
This is so true. Thank you for pointing this out, and for choosing to spend time with us!😀We are so happy to have you here!
I agree with Deborah! I don't have knitty friends so i can sit and knit while you ladies are on and I enjoy it so much
I agree! It’s never too long for me. I just sit, knit, and listen.
Love your birthday sweater. What is the name of the pattern?
Thank you for talking about embracing the size you are now. At age 63 I finally told my dad and my youngest sister to quit body shaming me. I am extremely healthy - the only # that is high when I go for a physical is the number on the scale and it isn’t all that high. So, if that is all they value about me, then they can stuff it. I am so tired of stressing about my weight. I walk, hike, sail, play with grandsons, garden, knit, quilt and I, too, love Dove Dark chocolate!
Another trick I learned for remembering needle size for the swatch is tie specific number of knots in the tail.
Too long is like saying too much chocolate. No such thing. Love you guys!
I vote for all episodes being at least 2 1/2 hours. Great show! Have a wonderful rest of your summer.
Love you guys so much, but round-up? Poison, poison, poison, poison to you, poison to the bees, poison to the earth. Thank you for your podcast, still love you.
I LOVE your podcast. The longer the better. Never get sick of you. Love seeing all the beautiful yarn and stuff. I get ideas of new to me yarn dyers and other accessories. Enjoy the rest of your summer.
Loved every moment of it, ladies. Thanks for spending time with me and no, it wasn’t too long for me. It was fabulous as always. 🥰
Hi ladies! We met at the brunch; I’m the one who met Traci at Eyf and lives an hour north of Cedar.

Dont ever worry about the clock! The longer your podcast, the better!!!!!💓💓💓

I love that you ladies can surprise each other with such wonderful things. And to have beautiful friends that can help with the surprises! Thank you so much for sharing.
Growing up as one myself, the term is Michigander 😁 Glad you had fun!!!

thank you for explaining how you'll redo your neckline on your sweater , it's encouraging to see we can always modify or make changes !
I have been eagerly waiting for you to return! It was great to watch your porch podcast from MI; but this is the real thing 😍. What fabulous surprises you each planned for one another’s birthdays 🎉. And managing to keep your secrets, especially after I just watched Joji explaining texting simultaneously with you and not being the one to ruin the fun! You did have much to talk about and show and again have me anxious to check the show notes and pretend I can do all the new projects ..... my eyes are bigger than my budget, my knitting speed, and my ability to focus on only one project at a time .....oooo shiney, ooooo new pattern oooooo beautiful yarn 🧶 oooo socks ooo sweater oooooo shawl .... oooo bags oooo pins oooo overload 🤯. Not too long 🤩. So delightful and happy to watch, especially after the horrible week in the United States, the shootings, the ICE arrests, the children again separated from their families, and the horrible governance by the current president and Senate (or is it lack of governance? 😢.). I enjoyed every minute of this podcast 💛💛💛
I absolutely love, love that you do long podcasts. You have great content and you're very entertaining. One of these days I'll be able to purchase some of the spectacular yarn you show but for now I'm learning and admiring.
Fabulous podcast! Don’t worry about length of the podcasts. If I have to I pause it and do what I need to. I enjoy both of you!!!

I am going back and watching old episodes of Grocery Girls while in quarantine. I had to crack up when Jodi said "2020 is our year." !
"Don't adjust your screen, it's THAT F*CKING AWESOME" - JODI, I love you so much!
Welcome back! And belated Happy Birthday to each of you! Your sweaters are ridiculously amazing! And all those mini-skeins...I can’t even. I need more yarn spending money...🧶🧶🧶

Fantastic birthday surprises !! Your sweater is gorgeous Jodi (I can't wait til it comes out)! And Tracie I cried too when Joji surprised you at the airport.
Just checked Ravelry they have the magnolia sweater in 3XL now which is 51 inches!
thanks!!! glad to see the new sizes 😀👍🏻
So funny she talked about that and I was going through my favorites on Ravelry and I had the magnolia already in there! Beautiful pattern, can't wait to knit it!
Loved every single minute. Thank you so much for your time in putting this together. Have a great two week vacation.

You girls are so interesting and entertaining!
Love the yarn and IDEAS! Stories are special.
Birthdays are important times to say you are special.

Schitts Creek! BEST show on tv! And no, you ladies are never too long... I never get enough!🥰
Tracie you can be as long as you want to be .... Because..... Guess What I am going to watch all of it!!! I love it when you run up to 3 hours.... I sit and knit and watch you guys.....
I laughed outloud for a full minute when you said, "old romaine". Now, every time I think of it, I giggle. I would not have been able to compose myself to continue if that were me. I absolutely love you girls. You're so real. I hate it when I've finished watching your podcast because then I have to wait until you post again.
I am so distracted watching this podcast because BOTH of ya'll's sweaters are GORGEOUS. Also, those baskets on the fence? Too cute!
Great podcast. I just love watching you two.
So enjoyed your video! Love your Galiano socks and am on my second pair! Love all the sweaters, dreamy yarns, patterns, it just goes on and on! Love it all, you guys are fantastic!,, 💕
Please DO do the next show in your mom's (pots) garden. As a gardener I would love to see it.
For your Q & A - what do you know now that you wish you knew when you first started knitting?
Oooooh, that's a great question! I'm a new knitter, so I would LOVE to hear the answer!!!
I love how long you guys talk the more knitting I get done. Keep it up ❤️ you guys!
Without fail, every time I watch you I open Google Maps and do a little road trip across Canada and this time Michigan. Last night I was searching Alaska and cannot tell you why, but it looks way too cold for my liking. One day I might make it outside Australia. You two are so much fun to watch xx
People are offended by how long it is! 😂😂 That's ridiculous! I love how long it is, I can sit down with a cuppa and a good knit, I don't always watch it all in one sitting and I love that because I really look forward to watching the rest 😁 so much inspiration on this episode I just need to find more time!
LOL Jodi - "hard pass". Good time with you both. I listened and watched to the end, and it was well worth it. If an episode is long, all that matters is the content. Worth it.
Jodie, your sweater looks absolutely fabulous on you. So lovely. And your gold sweater, Tracie, is lovely. Love the pretty flower baskets!
Enjoyed every minute! And yes, I watched it in one go knitting and shopping for more yarn. Can’t wait for next installment. You girls are a hoot!
I love how long your podcasts are! I prefer to sit in it for an hour at a time and your podcast are perfect to keep me motivated the entire time!
"Snug worsted - you just want a onesie in it!" You girls are so my people! Was delightful to meet you both in Cedar - thanks for sharing your passion for knitting and yarns with us all! ❤️👯
Love your podcast, it is like catching up with your besties the time flies and you wish it would never end, Love you girls I hope you have an amazing time with your Families !
Your podcast is not too long! It was just right for my lunch time knitting during the week. :) I love how you both make me laugh. In fact, I laughed so hard over the "Old Romaine" comment that everyone in the lunch room turned and looked at me. You should have a colorway of Grocery Girl yarn with names such as "Old Romaine," "Party in my Mailbox," "Jodi," "Tracie," "The V Word," and "Skin Tag"
Love, love, love the long videos!!! Such a great excuse to sit and knit for a while. Thank you!!
Love, love, love, love listening and watching your podcast. Thank you for sharing everything. You bring smile on my day ! No, it's not too long :-)
You grocery Girls are too much. I enjoy watching you over the day as I can and appreciate the beautiful ideas you give us. Keep it up.
Ladies! Welcome back! I have no problem with long episodes, I could knit with you all day long! You inspire, enable, and spread love. Who can't deal with that? 💜
Old Romaine! I literally peed my pants! No, seriously, I knit with it all the time! 😂😂😂
Tracie, I'm on the verge of bifocals, but I can see close-up, but not with my glasses. So, I avoid bifocals by using a pair of glasses that are very shallow. I can see perfectly clearly when I look under the bottom of the frame. Good luck!
Happy knitting! 😘😘😘😘😘
Just so happens that I’m recouping from knee surgery so your podcast was the perfect medicine! Loved it, especially the Joji birthday surprises! You make me smile every podcast...thank you! 😘
Feel better soon! They do brighten any day, don't they?
Love you comments about having a supportive partner. Everyone should hold out on lifetime commitment until they find the one who says, “Buy the yarn.” This is my husband’s phrase every. single. time. I’m contemplating a skein. Because of this, I absolutely bought The Yarn Jar in Cactus Flower.
I love the sweater Jodi, good job Tracie! And I am glad that sweater sizing is expanding so those of us with curves can wear them. We are not all Twiggy. I knit a lot of sweaters when I was smaller, and it's getting so exciting that I'll be able to do more pretty sweaters.
Yea! You're back! The jumpers you are wearing suit you both, and you are looking so well and relaxed. Jodi you should wear that red, I think it will suit you. Continue to enjoy the summer. Thanks girls. x
🤣Gotta get me some “Old Romaine “! 🤣. Watched all in one go, and really enjoyed your party in the mailbox!!! Seeing ALL that yarn never gets old (unless it’s lettuce😉). See ya next time!🤗🧶
🙈🤣 seriously....what is our problem???
The longer the podcast the better! Thank you ladies for taking the time to share with us. Loved every minute😍🥰
I love the surprise Tracy had for her birthday. Great planning on Jodi's part! The excitement to watch the surprise unfold must have been worth everything! :)
My husband is actually the one who encouraged me to get back into knitting, and he's very supportive :) If I'm having trouble working out a pattern, he'll sit down with me and help me figure it out! I'm starting to get into pattern design, and he's even helping me with that too! I'm really truly lucky to have him ❤️
He's a keeper!!! 💟
Love the long podcast. You are such enablers - I have ordered the yarn for Joji’s sweater! Txs!!!
Met you two in Michigan!!! It was a great weekend there. Listening to your video about the weekend in Cedar MI brought back many happy memories :-). Knitting on the beach was wonderful. Weather was absolutely perfect that weekend too!
just great memories!!😄
Tracie, you should make a knitting swatch journal and glue the swatch to the page with a little blurb about what you used and the needle size etc. Then you would always have it to refer to. Just a thought. Love you and Jodi so,so much!
I love you! it just makes my week - this makes me so happy! Your sweaters are so beautiful! That hat totally reminded me of the Andes mountains! So cool! You are the best!!! Thank you for being you!!!
Hi ladies! I love the long episodes! I always watch you in "chunks " of about 30 minutes while I'm walking on the treadmill or using the exercise bike! Makes that chore go so much faster, lol! Have to be careful though, I almost fell off the bike during that "old romaine" sequence🤣🤣🤣. Enjoy your holidays Tracie and have fun spending time with your girls Jodi.
We'll keep you as honorary "MichiGANDERS" 😂😃
❤️❤️❤️ thank you!😊
Amanda Cole I second that!
And referred to as the land of 10,000 lakes 😉
Yep, we are called Michiganders. But, I think 10,000 lakes is Minnesota (where I currently live).
Love spending time with you through your podcasts. Went to Stephen and Penelope today during our short stay in Amsterdam. Got his yarn and also my first LabienAime (sp) DK.
Love Schitt's Creek and certainly the character of David. Have seen many movies with dad and the ensemble cast. We live in Maryland in the US.
Of course, the way things go, this was the first one I found of you guys. Watched it straight through and, I have to say, it was a great time, loved watching you both ! It does make me wish I had a sister.
Yesss do a hat knit along👍👍 god it’s good to have you back missed you😘😘 you’ve given me my knit inspiration back👍 Come to Yorkshire England for a weekend knit ,!!!! Xxxxxx🥰😘😘
I love you two and it’s never long enough. I was so excited when I saw the podcast was over two hours ❤️
Thank you for another fun podcast! I love how you showcase and support new yarn dyers and designers. I worked on my Dark Cloud by Joji as I watched this episode. Jodi, your hair looked awesome! Tracie, I will never forget how happy you were when Joji and Charly greeted you at the airport - one of the sweetest moments ever 🥰😍
❤️oh...what a great pattern! I absolutely love mine! I will never ever ever forget that moment either. 😌
I love Jodie's sweater!!! I cant wait until the pattern drops!! Everything you ladies have knit is gorgeous and it makes me just want to knit along everything with u!!!
J O J I - Hurry, I need that sweater!!! LOVELY...and I'm going to do it in Navy too. I love you guys, you are adorbs! STILL after all these years... ok. 2 years?
Loved your hearts popping through in the 2.5 hour podcast. Who would desire less of you. ..we love you. Be real, knit on and keep talking.
Your sweaters are fabulous!
Can you talk about knitting needles you love and how you organize your needles.
Xoxox
Fantastically, amazing, terrific, fabulous, story of friendship!! Love it!!!
Thank you for the long podcast- especially when you both are taking trips between your videos. It’s hard to wait😀
